"The 20th Budabeats relase will bring you back to the smokey late sixties with a collection of lo-fi tracks of bands hailing from the States, England, Spain, Germany, Belgium Hungary and even Guatemala. Pop-jerks, psych-pop, rockabilly, garage, beat, surf and some spagetti western feeling on this one!"

"Jessie Frye is a fascinating study in contrasts. On record, she's deceptively demure, purring into the microphone in a husky, come-hither voice. In concert, she's a perspiring, kinetic wreck, unable to stay seated at her piano for very long, often appearing to teeter on the edge of a complete nervous breakdown. Either way, Frye is in total control, conveying her intimate compositions with skill, placing her at the forefront of area songstresses.

Frye has been steadily playing around town and at South by Southwest over the last three years, landing opening slots for high-profile shows such as Pat Benatar and Joan as Police Woman. Fireworks Child is just the sort of appetizer the unconverted need as motivation: Become intrigued by the stylish, richly observed songs on record and fall completely head over heels in concert. Provided she maintains her relentless work ethic and continues composing songs that reward repeated listens, Frye is bound for big things." - Preston Jones, Star Telegram

"An enlightened man, as the fifth element, the philosopher's stone or the quintessence reservoir, runs his own Universe inside his mind while reproducing the elements with his thoughts and playing with shapes in the way the potter throws clay on his wheel. The soft and pliable matter is reshaped by the master creating new essence and nature. And your wit should act alike being eager to regroup under the influence of new knowledge into some alchemical links one has never seen before.

"Only firm people can be truly soft", François de La Rochefoucauld

Being soft means being consciously determined and stable, not depending on sums, opinions, stereotypes, words and people. It means being real.

"Influences for the LP include Lalo Schifrin, Sade, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, Issac Hayes, The Neptunes and of course the late great J Dilla.

Please enjoy, vibe, freestyle, lounge with your woman/man, play it during work and share- peace and I'll see you at Pempstrumentals Vol. V" - D.L.O. the Iceman

"Welcome to the fourth release of Cicuta Netlabel. Many times, in private circles, discussed about the large number of new promises that are working hard in the dark and certainly deserve to have their work exhibited to the public. This time, we want to present one of these guys, from Burgos (Spain), Hyo.

Hyo presents 3 tracks of similar cut between them. Dark, atmospheric, industrial with a touch reminiscent sounds of the golden age of Spanish dark techno, and, of course, have nothing to envy to the music from best known and most renowned artists. Undoubtedly, if you are dark-techno lover, is a name to put in the agenda...

As for the remixers, first we are proud to introduce you to Edgar Aizpurs, better known as Po, Latvian producer that many will remember by his legendary track Jannete published in the late Belgian netlabel Ante-Rasa, and since then we keep track for his quality, especially in the atmosphere management.

Moreover, we have from León (Spain) to Bran Lanen, one of these different artists, that by simply talking to him you know he will not leave you indifferent. Classic techno lover, hardware defender and production geek. Adjectives are a little extreme, but you also probably be after listening to his music.

Finally, and as always, from Drugstore try to contribute into EP with a remix. Is a more serious and thoughtful work than at other times, but the script demanded it..."

"About a year ago, Shigeto released his debut full length, Full Circle, on Ghostly. Today sees the release of New Light, previously a GMS-exclusive EP. New Light is a collection of five previously unreleased tracks, culled from the last three years, that reside in the softer and more ambient spaces within Shigeto's repertoire.
You can look forward to more new material from Shigeto in early 2012.
